Chapter 16 Departure

Sure enough, as Kuwagamon flew over, a huge fireball came flying from afar and hit Kuwagamon precisely.

A gigantic figure rushed in, its massive body running across the ground, each step causing the earth to tremble. It was none other than the guardian of the Koromon Village, the Champion-level Digimon—Greymon!

"Get out of here, Kuwagamon!!"

The approaching Greymon roared, and upon seeing Greymon, the fleeing Koromon suddenly felt emboldened.

"Great, it's Greymon!"

"Oh my god!! Greymon! Defeat Kuwagamon!"

"I want to evolve into Greymon too!"

The Koromon chattered incessantly, while Fang Xiu stared intently at the Kuwagamon that had fallen to the ground after being hit by the fireball, his large eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

The reaction of Kuwagamon was a bit off. Normally, although it is ferocious, Kuwagamon should have fled due to its injury after taking a head-on hit from Greymon's Mega Flame. However, this Kuwagamon did not flee. Instead, it got up and howled at Greymon.

Something unusual must be going on. Fang Xiu's gaze swept over the Gugamon, trying to find out the reason.

Seeing that Kuwagamon did not leave and even continued to roar, Greymon charged forward, attempting to knock Kuwagamon over with its powerful body.

boom!

Two colossal beasts, each over three meters tall, collided. In the instant of their stalemate, Fang Xiu finally made a discovery.

On the abdomen of Kuwagamon, there was a black mark that seemed out of place with its red body—a black gear that was half-embedded inside Kuwagamon's body.

Dark Gear!

The things spread by Devimon will cause Digimon whose bodies have been invaded by the Dark Gear to lose their sense of self and become extremely violent.

Different Digimon will have different states under the influence of the Dark Gear. Most Digimon will lose control after being invaded by the Dark Gear, but their strength will also be weakened to a certain extent. However, only Virus-type Digimon will have their strength increase instead of decrease after being corrupted by the Dark Gear.

This is why, even though Kuwagamon was hit by Greymon's Super Flame, it can still hold its own against Greymon.

That's all. The scales of victory have tipped in favor of Greymon. Although the strength of the two sides is not yet determined, don't forget that Greymon can breathe fire!

The intense heat gathered in the mouth of the Tyrannomon, and the huge fireball hurtled towards its face at point-blank range, exploding on the face of the Kuwagamon. In an instant, the fireball shattered the carapace on the surface of the Kuwagamon, exposing the soft flesh beneath. The high temperature of the flames cooked the soft flesh, releasing a fragrant aroma.

The intense pain caused Kugamon to let out a mournful cry, and the black gears on its abdomen loosened as a result.

Just as the victory seemed assured, Greymon was about to press its advantage when a buzzing sound came from the distant forest again. Another Kuwagamon flew in, its huge pincers clamping down on Greymon's neck.

The situation suddenly reversed. The Greymon that had just been in the lead was now being held by the neck by the monster. The huge pincers on the head of the Gaigamon burst out with amazing biting force, trying to directly snap Greymon's neck.

Greymon tried to struggle, but its arms were firmly held in place by the first Kuwagamon.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Rolling Beasts were in chaos again. Looking at the scene in the distance, Fang Xiu controlled his body and hopped forward.

"This is really troublesome. Looks like it's time to get going."

The white light of evolution enveloped Fang Xiu's body, and when the white light dissipated, the Agumon form, which was over three meters tall, reappeared.

"The big guy has evolved!"

The Koromon, having witnessed Fang Xiu's evolution, exclaimed in surprise.

Ignoring the figure behind him, Fang Xiu, with his feet firmly planted on the ground, raised his hand and unleashed a small flame.

Although it's described as a small flame, given Fang Xiu's size, the fireball he exhaled was almost half the size of the Tyrannomon's Super Flame.

The fireball landed on Kuwagamon's abdomen, or more precisely, on the black gear. The impact caused Kuwagamon's pincers to loosen, and Greymon seized the opportunity to break free of its restraints.

Despite its numerous wounds on its neck, Greymon had not lost its fighting ability. Digimon are such peculiar creatures. With the addition of Fang Xiu as a fresh force, the two Kuwagamon soon fell one after the other.

Although Fang Xiu was the smallest in size, he was the absolute main force in this battle. It can be said that he was the one who defeated almost both Kugamon.

As Kuugamon fell, the Dark Gears embedded in their bodies also dissipated.

However, Fang Xiu could see clearly that the data after the Dark Gear disappeared did not return to the world, but was absorbed by the mark on his arm.

As Fang Xiu evolved, the mark that was originally on his right ear was transferred to his left arm.

After the battle, the heavily injured Greymon desperately needed rest. It's only because Greymon is a Digimon that it's possible that any other life form would have died from such injuries.

With the threat gone, the other Koromon gathered around Fang Xiu and Greymon, cheering them on.

To celebrate, the Koromon brought out all their stored food and held a banquet.

The food is mostly fruit, with some meat, and even canned meat. It's no wonder this is the Digital World; anything is possible.

Two more days passed, and seeing that Greymon's injuries had healed and would at least not affect the battle, Fang Xiu left the Koromon village.

From the very beginning, Fang Xiu knew he couldn't stay here indefinitely; he was eager to see the view from the top of the Digimon world.

The fact that the mark on his hand could absorb the data from the Dark Gears was good news for Fang Xiu; the Dark Gears that Devimon had spread so widely became his readily available energy source.

After leaving the Rolling Beast Village, Fang Xiu turned around and entered the forest, having already planned his next journey.

Starting from the eastern forest, the journey continues south, passing through Mount Miharassi where Flamemon resides and Lake Longyan where Seadramon dwells, before heading west to challenge the two Ultimate-level monsters, Andromon and Bearmon.

Then comes the frozen land to the north, and finally, the journey to Mount Infinity to challenge Devimon, the final boss of Fairy Island.

Fang Xiu acted swiftly, acting on his thoughts. As a Digimon with a Dark Virus-type Digicore within him, Fang Xiu possessed a natural sensitivity to the dark power of the Dark Gear.

The group set off in the morning and arrived at Miharaxi Mountain at noon. This was only because Fang Xiu had taken some time to play a few matches; otherwise, they would have arrived even faster.

After leaving the dense forest, Fang Xiu felt the temperature suddenly rise sharply, as if he had come directly to a clearing scorched by the blazing sun. With his height and the eyesight of his Digimon, Fang Xiu easily saw the world in the distance that had been reduced to flames.

"Fire!!" A humanoid Digimon engulfed in flames was spewing out raging fire in a frenzied manner, setting the surrounding area ablaze.

The fire beast, which should have been a righteous hero and guardian of Mount Mihara, is now wantonly destroying everything.

Chased by Flamemon were a group of round, garlic-shaped Digimon, namely Bigmon, a baby Digimon like Koromon, which lived at the foot of Mount Mihara.

Looking at the frenzied fire beast in the distance, Fang Xiu could already sense the dark power within it, the strongest dark power he had ever seen on his journey.

So the Dark Gear also has different levels?

The thought did not affect Fang Xiu's actions. Flame Beast was covered in flames, so Agumon's special moves were not suitable. To deal with Flame Beast, this form was the right choice.

Agumon transfers to evolve into Firemon!
